Telegram CEO says app will continue to host 'war-related content'

Reddit admin caused some drama in r/combatfootage when they came down on them for having Hamas pov videos. It's a very muddled stance. Ukrainian and Russian pov: a-okay. Israeli settlers in the west Bank shooting unarmed palistinians: also a-okay. Hamas: no-bueno. Somebody make it make sense. I'd ask there but of course the thread was already locked.

Is there any advertiser pushback on Hamas content, since they are not a proper State?

I think if we're gonna start picking and choosing which murder porn is okay based on state backing, we may as well start up the hunger games.

The difference is only one of those four examples is an internationally designated terror organization.

Another of those four examples is internationally designated as a violation of the 4th Geneva Convention under UNSC Resolution 2334. I don't think one can say that international condemnation is particularly unique to any of them.

One of those states is also an internationally recognized “state sponsor of terrorism” so it’s not that far off

If Russia didn't usurp USSRs UN seat, they'd be designated a terrorist state.

Russia didn't usurp anything; they are legally USSR ancestor state.

They also got all of USSR's debts.

If I remember right, Reddit hired somebody who was formerly at NSA or Pentagon. Posting anything anti-Ukranian or pro-Russian gets heavily censored. Not surprised that it happens with Hamas too, as the US provoked a civil war between Fatah and Hamas by openly and publicly favouring Fatah. They hate Hamas.

"Israeli settlers in the west Bank shooting unarmed palistinians"

What are you talking about? I can't find any video you're describing
